Today I will be making nan khatai.
Nan khatai is eggless biscuits.
Very delicious and easy to make.
Light and crunchy.
Great to serve with tea.
This recipe will make 20-24 nan khatais.
I will need:
1/3 cup of all purpose flour (maida)
1/3 cup of semolina (suji)
1/2 cup of gram flour (besan)
Pinch of baking soda
About 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder
1/2 cup of unsalted butter
2/3 cup of sugar
For garnishing
about 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds
And 1 tablespoon of sliced pistachios.
So first I will be mixing all these flour together.
All purpose flour
Suji
Gram flour
Baking soda
And cardamom powder.
Mix it well.
So now I am going to mix the butter and sugar together.
Butter should be very soft at room temperature.
But it should not be melted.
So this is 1/2 cup of butter.
Just mix it little bit.
And put the sugar.
Whip it for about 2-3 minutes till it becomes very soft and fluffy.
You can mix this with spoon or use the electric hand mixer
just do it for 2 minutes.
This is ready.
And I am going to mix the flour mix in this and make a soft dough.
Dough is ready and as you see it's very soft.
I am going to divide this now in about 20-24 equal parts.
Before that I am going to grease the baking cooking sheet.
I will put directly on this.
I am going to take a small ball and roll it.
And just make a tic tac toe right over it.
And press little bit almond and pistachios.
And put it on the cookie sheet.
Do it another one.
Just slightly make the impression of tic tac toe.
Put the almond and pistachios.
So put them about 1.5 inch part.
They are almost ready.
And I have preheated the oven at 375 degrees.
I have 21 of them.
Like I said oven is preheated to 375 degrees.
I will put this on medium rack and it will take about 12-15 minutes.
It has been about 15 minutes and nan khatai looks ready.
Kitchen is already smelling with sweet aroma of
butter, besan and cardamom.
And they look just great.
We have to wait till they cool off
before we remove them from this cookie sheet.
So it will take about 5 minutes.
Nan khatai smell and looks great.
What you think about this?
Nan khatai is a great homemade cookies
to give for holidays gifts.
Your friends and relatives will appreciate this.
Thank you.
And I will see you again with a new recipe.
